Hello to all of you out there,
in fact, everybody who has already done TCP/IP satellite traffic via GEO
satellites knows that it works properly. But I have to point out that I miss
relevant data in all of your mails, i.e. how is your through-put rate using
which type of carriers on a satellite. The position and stability of the GEO
device is not important anyway, we just need a repeater up there. We have
achieved with 2 Mbps outbound and 64kbps inbound via a 1.2 meter VSAT and a
3.7 meter Hub on EUTELSAT a maximum of 35 kByte/s using normal TCP/IP, but
we think it is much to slow.
Here at GMD, a national German Research institute for Information
Technology, we have 18 MHz of satellite capacity for research and
development to play around with. At the moment we would like to increase the
speed by using the Win98 version with the RFC 1323 components. Does anybody
have some ideas how to implement this 100% properly ?
Thanks in advance,
Andreas Voigt
